medium? As in... how much space anyone has in total over all their hard drives?
Or do you mean one storage unit... meaning on hard drive.

I have 1TB in a single device (it's actually two 500 drives nested)... I think that's the most you'll find from anyone here, EXCEPT in the case of servers. Anything above that gets really expensive. It would be more worth it to buy two of those than to buy a 1.5TB disk, etc.

Haha, in a few years' time someone's going to look back on this and think, "haha, wow, a whole 8TB," before proceeding to download this whole site onto their >100TB hard drive.

There was an interesting new hard drive technology in the works a little while back involving magnetic flux quanta. That would dramatically decrease the physical size of hard drives, and probably push the price of manufacturing high-capacity drives down considerably.
